Thank you to Susan Barnes-Gelt for her candid analysis of Denver’s assault on its cherished historic places.

The proposal to redesign the northwest corner of City Park is just plain wacky and criminal. Parking is already at a premium at the zoo and at the Museum of Nature & Science. The noise impact on the animals would be disastrous, while the aesthetic nature of City Park would be destroyed.

Please, Mr. Mayor and council members, if you have any sense of decency, cancel this toxic proposal.

I don’t live within the bounds of the City and County of Denver, so I probably have little right to say much about this particular issue – but it seems that every proposal that is made to redevelop either City Park or Civic Center Park is met with vehement opposition from the citizenry (often voiced by Ms. Barnes-Gelt). For those who live in Denver…is this a case where the Mayor and City Council simply aren’t listening, one where the vocal citizens are just too resistant to change, or something in between?

I saw some concept art for the City Loop project, and I’m intrigued. I also saw nothing of razing parking lots to accomplish it, so I don’t understand the parking comment.
